My .js Skills are Feeble, but from a class I took awhile back, I do recall a function that would do this, MyEmailer platform has rendered "First Name JOE BLOW", "Last Name Jebadiah" when they entered their information, the end user, but NOT clear out the form field manually.

Thanks

Mike

Hi mkersgard. Welcome to the forums. (This seemed better as a separate thread.)

You can do it with JavaScript, but also with HTML5. With the patter, you can just add

placeholder="Last Name"

etc. to your form inputs.

However, that won't work in older browsers.

Let us know if you'd prefer some JS.

Then use the HTML5 placeholder - it means no JavaScript code at all.

<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Enter your username">

When you click in there and start typing, the placeholder then goes away.
